Viper V3 Pro is optical mouse switches, Viper V3 Hyperspeed is mechanical mouse switches.

Hi

So right now I have the logitech G203.

Its ok but I think by this time, there are other and better options out there plus it starts to wear out.

 

What do I look for? Good durability, good latency, good sensors and something that is kind of the shape of the G203. Doesn't have to be logitech.

Pricerange: in between. Not the cheapest and not the most expensive. 50-100 euro's.

Doesn't have to be wireless. And rgb is nice but not a decisive factor.

Right now on amazon there is the logitech g pro superlight on sale but its not the x 2 version and I heard the x 2 version is much better.

Also looked into the logitech g502x and the razer basilisk v3 but this might be too big...

I had Logitech's g203 for years now and I'm used to this feeling and going to a bigger mouse won't be a good idea I think.

Not a fan of any brand btw.

 

What do you have in store?

The superlight 2 is barely better (the coating is even worse), it doesn't make any sense to buy it at this price. My friend bought a ninjutsu sora from aliexpress for like $40, and it is better than my superlight, 10g lighter, good build quality, and better coating, i really recommend it

I've heard about this one but I'm affraid its not available in my country. I can only find the ninjutsu one on amazon.

Thanks for the offer though.

The Logitech G203 has been my all-time favorite mouse for the last 6 years, but I switched to Razer DeathAdder V3 last month and I'm really happy about it. It is noticeably larger than the G203 so there was slight adjustment, but overall I like it more. The clicks are so satisfying and quiet and the braided cable feels so frictionless that it basically feels like a wireless mouse. No annoying LEDs. You don't need Razer software. Now I use it at work and at home.

The equivalent to the G203 would be the Logitech G305 Lightspeed. It's literally the G203 but wireless lol.

Hm, yeah I think the Razer Viper would be the equivalent if we're talking about staying small.

 

I chose the DeathAdder because I used them during my college years, but they always died on me after like 6 months. Now that they've switched to optical switches for the mouse clicks, I feel like I can trust Razer again for computer mice.

The g305 has been recommended by my brother as well. I'm just used to the g203's size. Don't know if its even good for my hand it's not hurting by any means unless I need to stress it and go crazy with it ... But that doesn't happen.

Do all razers use optical switches now? Like the viper v3 or v2?

I'm also keeping an eye on the basilisk cause its really good but it's heavy. Can I go to a mouse which weighs more then the one I have now? Or is that a no go?

I think I'm going for the cobra or something. Anyway, that shape and weight should be good. Thanks for the suggestions and advice!
